(shown below)
-S Silent install (no user prompts)
-B Forces a system reboot after installation
-P <path> Supplies target installation path
-A Extracts all driver files (does not install
driver) to <path> if -P is also supplied, or
the default directory otherwise
-N Installs all components except driver
-O <name> Supplies target Start Menu Program Folder
name if installing Companion applet
-L <number> Forces a particular language install (See
the product documentation for a table
mapping <number> to language)
-build Displays build number
-nocompanion Prevents the installation of the Companion
application
-f2 <path> Creates a log file to <path>; this is to be
used during silent installation
*** "Package-for-the-web" requires that an additional -A be
placed before any flag. Therefore, an example file
extraction
would be IATA_CD -A -A -P C:\<path> ***
Notes: Flags and their parameters are not case sensitive.
Flags may be supplied in any order, with the
exception of the -S and -L flags which must be
supplied last. When using the -A flag, a target
path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O,
-L, -S, and -N flags are ignored. When using the -P
or -O flags, a space is required between the flag
and the argument; when using -L, however, there
should be no space.

************************************************************
* 9. INTEL(R) ULTRA ATA COMPANION APPLICATION
************************************************************
Overview
By default, running the SETUP program creates a Start Menu
Program Folder named, "Intel Ultra ATA Storage," which
contains shortcuts to the Intel(R) Ultra ATA Companion
Application, the Companion's Help file, and the driver
package README.TXT file.
The Intel(R) Ultra ATA Companion is a Win32 application that
works in tandem with the Intel(R) Ultra ATA Storage Driver to
provide detailed, useful information about the storage
subsystem. The Companion queries the Intel(R) Ultra ATA
Storage Driver via its IOCTL interface to obtain detailed
Ultra ATA Controller and device information, which is
displayed on the screen and can be dumped to a log file. The
Companion can also be used to set a particular ATA or ATAPI
device's transfer mode limit (described in detail below).
Displaying Controller and/or Device Information
When started, the Companion's left window (the "Devices"
window) contains entries for the Intel Ultra ATA controller
and all connected ATA/ATAPI devices. Selecting a particular
controller or device in the Devices windows causes the
application to display the corresponding configuration
parameters in the Companion's right window (the "Parameters"
window). Parameters shown with an oscilloscope icon are
read-only; parameters shown with a wrench icon are read-
write.
The various parameters are described below:
Controller Parameters:
Name Description
IDE Controller Controller product name

Driver Version Device driver version
VxD Build (1) VSD device driver product name
VxD Version (1) VSD device driver version

Notes:
(1) Only displayed on Microsoft* Windows* 98 and
Windows Millennium Edition
(2) Only displayed on Microsoft* Windows* NT* 4.0
(3) Only displayed for ATA fixed disk drive devices
How to Change a Device's Maximum ATA Transfer Mode
NOTE: The Intel(R) Ultra ATA Storage Driver automatically
configures devices for their optimal transfer modes;
changing the default "No Limit" setting may cause adverse
system effects.
At system boot, the Intel(R) Ultra ATA Storage Driver
configures each ATA/ATAPI device to transfer data at
particular transfer modes. These transfer modes are defined
by ATA standards, and are either Programmed I/O (PIO) or
Direct Memory Access (DMA or UltraDMA) type transfers. The
Intel(R) Ultra ATA Storage Driver usually configures devices
for their fastest capable transfer modes; however, there may
be times when a different (perhaps slower) transfer mode is
appropriate for a particular device or system configuration.
To change a particular device's maximum configurable transfer
mode, the device's Transfer Mode Limit parameter can be set
to a value other than "No Limit."
To change the value of this parameter, first select the
target device in the Devices window. Next, double-click
the parameter name "Transfer Mode Limit" in the Parameters
window - this causes the "Edit Parameter" dialog box to
appear. Next, choose a value in the "Parameter Data"
pulldown and select "OK" to change the value. This change
will cause the Transfer Mode Limit parameter wrench icon
to flash, indicating that its value has been changed.
The parameter value change does not take effect, however,
until the "File/Commit Changes Now" is selected, or the
application is shut down (at which point, the application
will prompt the user to "Commit Changes Now"). Whenever a
device's transfer mode limit is changed, the change will not
take effect until the system is restarted.
The Save/Print/View Report Feature
Open the Intel(R) Ultra ATA Companion Application and select
"File" then "Storage Report" next choose either "Save",
"Print", or "View". The text report of the storage subsystem
contains a variety of detailed information pertaining to
the storage subsystem, including: operating system
information; system registry information; platform
information; driver information; controller information
including a hex dump of PCI configuration register values;
channel information; and device information including a hex
dump of each device's IdentifyDrive/IdentifyPacketDevice
data.
